  1. These guys should rather go to the french riviera. A plethora of nudist beaches to choose from (and a lot of "libertinage" action going on behind the rocks and Mediterranean bushes). ( ps : by the way< some of these beaches and sea fronts are paradise, can easily equal or surpass many Thailand beaches in terms of natural beauty and cleanliness. A must try) A little "AVANT-GOUT" HERE : Adeptes du naturisme, voici les 14 plages où se baigner tout nu dans le Var - Var-Matin (varmatin.com)
  2. Wrong. Atypical is the right word. But the 99.9% of expats or tourists that don't act that way at all just don't make the news...(the one tree that hides the forest metaphor ...)
  3. Better but not enough compared to pre-covid times. When you see that a city like Paris alone has attracted 11.6 Million tourist between January and April only. Recovery is slow unfortunately
  4. Hum...I do wish the man well but, he got into a relationship with a (at the time) 19 Yo girl when he was 57?? (in Pattaya?) I mean really...what to expect but the typical "disappearance" or "Accidental" Fall from a balcony or "she took it all and ruined my life and now I survive on crowdfunding"....
  5. Like some commenters wrote : that is just his side of the story.....
  6. There is regulations in every country for land ownership by foreigners. That's it. Here in Thailand , When a nominee land ownership is put in place both parties risk being fined and jailed. Thai land laws prohibit foreigners from owning land in Thailand but also makes it illegal for Thai nationals to act as an agent or a proxy nominee owner of the land on behalf of a foreigner (section 96 Land Code Act). Just know it and act accordingly. if not, don't complain of the consequences.
  7. Just wondering if this could be a sort of "food arrangement/montage" photo just for the sake of socialM attention or not. If thIS is reaL, IT IS UTTERLY OUTRAOUTRAGEOUS
  8. Spain and Portugal : awesome choices . Beautiful places, great people, great way of life, decent prices (for Europe). France is just stunning in many places (except for the French of course, always complaining about their own country. Not realizing what they have, a little paradise on earth...), but mostly too expensive. Too bad for Brexit , things would have been so much easier for Brittons without that "delirious" decision...
  9. ...On par with a X00% increase in Russian "refugees"?
  10. I feel him. Everyone is very "Handsome" there, if you've got the dough...Once you run out of it, it's "Go Home Kway/Buffalo!" ... once the "smokescreen" dissipates and you get the crude reality's fist painfully shattering your front teeth.
  11. Netherlands did it rather Successfully. Illegal prostitution moves in the Netherlands more than 500 million euros every year Legal prostitution exceeds 2.5 billion, which is equivalent to or 0.4% of Dutch GDP, more than the country's cheese industry At the same time that prostitution in brothels was legalized in 2000, the law against sexual abuse and the protection of minors was tightened
  12. I live nearby (Sathorn - suanplu area). I did the Silom thing at Songkran around 3 or 4 times. I don't recommend it. No fun at all unless you just like being squashed in a crowd, moving a 1/10 mile per hour :). People who took the BTS just froze into place, couldn't move back or forth. Just staring down to the mass below. Better off having fun in the less crowded streets and neighborhoods, which is real good fun and no hassle. Up to you as they say. Cheers
  13. probably a fan of The Who's Pete Townshend. But 711 won't get fool again
  14. Not sure where some people in this forum get their info, but you can definitely get a decent room in central Bangkok at around 10 000 thb (even better in areas that are more far away but still within walking distance from BTS or MRT), Just go on the rental/property websites and you will see. Cheers
  15. Phuket and Isan? hum.....hell no......Some very specific locations in these 2 places are certainly worth it. But not as a whole. [ps : Glad to see the the City of DIJON in Burgundy (France) Mentioned Though..... Stunningly beautiful regione. And those wines.......]
  16. He should go to France, on the french riviera. plenty of nudist beaches there (it goes with a few locals hiding peeping and j***k off behind the surrounding pine trees and lavender bushes).
  17. I wouldn't go as far as going french "gilets-jaunes / yellow shirts" style here in Thailand, at intersections. But as someone paying taxes here (personal income & company taxes etc..) and social security to all the employees i have and ever had. Having given a decently paid job to quite a number of Thai people over 10 years. I feel that even as a foreigner, i am entitled to at least have a say about local politics. Too bad i cannot vote , although i'm not sure how that would make a difference in such a (ahem) democracy.
  18. Drugs, and Meth in particular are terrible (in case anyone has personnally seen the ravages it does to someone...). But she gets decades in jail, while a guy just killed two people with a knife and got bailed....with an ankle device....It's just beyond my comprehension
  19. I work and live in Bangkok since 2012. 1. I still [and sure as hell i am not the only one] absolutely do not know what exactly the rules pertaining to consuming cannabis are, and which level of THC is actually legal. i also think that the politicians involved in that law have strictly no clue either and have their brushes completely tangled on the subject... 2. Ganja consumption as a tourism asset? In many European countries and others in the world , like Spain just to name one, weed is decriminalized for personal cultivation and use, and it is very easily available (many grow it in their own homes). So unless you arrive from extremely strict places where they would "Blood Eagle" you for half a spliff, people just won.t bother to come to T. for that reason. About the fear of the return of Backpackers and other so-called low quality tourists and cheap charlies. Well, in case one hasn't noticed or got cryogenized for 20 years, Thailand is definitely not cheap anymore, at all, for the most part. Unless you plan to vacation in some remote place between two rice paddies....
